Chapter 247: The Art of Paper Folding

It really depended on which member was doing well, for example Nami was being tied up by Yoroi's hair.

Franky on the other hand, while he wasn't a member of the crew was doing well against Fukuro.

However the one worst off was Sanji.

Sanji was tricked into having tea with Kalifa (well more like did because of his thing about women) then realized what was going, when he demanded the key. She told to find it himself which of course was on her body.

Sanji was happy to go look for it but she just kicked him when undeterred perv mode.

"You lack foresight." Said Kalifa.

"I'm such a fool." Muttered Sanji.

With Hinata, she looked at her opponent.

"My name is Konan and I have eaten the Origami Origami Fruit." She explained.

"You can turn into paper?" asked Hinata.

"No, I can't." explained Konan, "I can only turn into folded paper."

"Oh, okay." Said Hinata, she got into her position.

"That's the gentle fist, isn't it?" asked Konan.

Hinata was silent.

"I know that they have the ability it temporally nullify devil fruit powers." Said Konan.

Hinata froze.

"You won't win." Said Konan.

Hinata tried to strike her but she turned into paper butterflies, which began to engulf Hinata.

Back with Sanji, he managed to sit up from the attack, of course Kalifa began to mock him.

"Even as we speak, Nico Robin is getting closer to the gates of justice or a better way to put it, hell." Said Kalifa.

"I know that!" yelled Sanji, "I know that Robin's life is on the line, I won't go easy even if it's a woman. So give me the key or you will get hurt."

"That cold threatening voice won't get you anywhere." Mocked Kalifa, "I've been order to take your life."

"You can't have it… and what I want is the key to Robin's handcuffs." Said Sanji.

"Well I guess tea time is over." said Kalifa.

Back with Hinata's fight, she was covered in the paper butterflies.

"It's over." Said Konan.

However the paper butterflies were torn apart and fell to the floor… Konan wasn't sure how that happened.

"How…" said Konan.

"I know how to fight against Logia." Said Hinata.

"I see." Said Konan.

"Why are we fighting?" asked Hinata, "You're not working for the government."

"It's because of something your crew has that we want." Said Konan.

"What?" asked Hinata.

"Naruto and Gaara." Said Konan.

Hinata's eyes widened.

Back with Sanji, his fight with Kalifa… well to say it wasn't going well would be an understanding.

They had gotten into a kicking match, anytime Sanji would try to kick her he would stop himself.

After Sanji was once again kicked away, Sanji muttered under his breath.

"Great Ino was right." Said Sanji.

(Flashback)

Once on the Baratie due to an incident that would go unnamed, Ino said this to him.

"One day the fact that you're going to get killed by a woman." Said Ino.

(End of Flashback)

"I'll show you." Muttered Sanji.

Meanwhile, Ino, still in Hidan's body sneezed.

"Great… I really hope this body isn't catching a cold." Muttered the Ino possessed Hidan while at the time wondering if the body could catch a cold.

Back with Hinata she stared at Konan.

"It's because of their demons isn't it?" asked Hinata.

"Yes it is." Said Konan.

Hinata looked at her.

"I won't let you take them away… easily not Naruto." Muttered Hinata.

"I see." Said Konan.

Hinata tried to strike Konan however she just turned into paper butterflies.

"There is no way you can defeat me." Said Konan reforming behind Hinata.

"I've heard something about Logia many times." Said Hinata.

"What?" asked Konan.

"That they are the ones with the shortest life span." Said Hinata.

Hinata quickly hit Konan's arm.

She held her arm and hissed in pain.

"I won't lose… not to you." Said Hinata.

Back with Sanji he continued to get trounced by Kalifa.

There was no way he could win this… at least while fighting her. But he hadn't realized this yet.

Back with Hinata she glared at Konan.

She ran towards Konan however every time she tried to strike Konan would just turned into butterflies.

Hinata took a breath. For the past few days she had been practicing a move, it wouldn't be the first he used in the fight, but it would be the first time she would be announcing its name.

"Protection of the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!" she called.

Konan turned into paper butterflies however her attack, which was chi in the form of small thin blade coming out of her palms cut up many of the small butterflies.

Konan managed to reformed from the surviving butterflies. That was when she realized, that was how Hinata freed herself from earlier.

She looked up at Hinata while breathing heavily.

"You used that move earlier, didn't you?" asked Konan.

Hinata silently nodded.

Konan knew she couldn't let her guard down anytime soon.

Back with Sanji… things had gotten from bad to worse. Not only was Sanji missing (on purpose, even though he did want to attack her), but she managed to hit him multiple times.

When he missed once again, Kalifa grabbed Sanji's tie.

"I've gotten tired of your threats." Said Kalifa, "Let's try something different."

Sanji could only glare at her.

"If you can't resist this move you will die." Mocked Kalifa.

Meanwhile with Gaara, he looked at his opponent.

The man took out clay. That was he raveled he had mouths on his palms.

Meanwhile with Naruto and Kyubi.

"I sense a dirty joke somewhere but I can't know where it is so I can't make fun of it." Said Kyubi.

"What?" asked Naruto with a sweat drop.

Back with Gaara… he watched as the mouths created a clay birth, he made the bird fly over to Gaara.

Gaara ideally put up his shield… that was when the clay bird exploded.

Gaara removed his sand and looked at the man.

"So you have exploding clay?" asked Gaara.

"Figures I would be the one fighting you." Said his opponent.

Gaara glared at the man.

Next Time: Gaara faces off against his opponent who likes art and explosions. Meanwhile Nami, Chopper and Sanji do some opponent trading... yes... Chopper currently doesn't have an opponent... and Sanji was defeated... so yeah... Either way find out what happened next time!
